Provide hassle–free credit to people: DDC Anantnag to bankers

Anantnag, June 30: Underscoring the need for maintaining a synergy between government institutions and banks for providing hassle-free credit facilities and easy finances to people, the District Development Commissioner, Anantnag, Sheikh Mushtaq Ahmad today stressed the officers from various government offices and financial institutions to take effective and tangible measures in this direction.

The DDC was today addressing bankers and officers at a joint meeting of Disrict Level Review Committee (DLRC). He impressed upon them to realize the goal of prosperity, poverty- alleviation and eradication of unemployment through fair and prompt implementation of the schemes. He asked the bankers to inculcate a liberal attitude towards people seeking credit. He also asked them to take various measures for attracting people to make use of facilities as provided by the government in collaboration with banks.

Emphasizing on conduction workshops on a regular basis, the DDC said that these will go a long way in spreading awareness among people about the loans as made available by the banks in such workshops. “The thrust should be laid on identifying the problems of aspiring entrepreneurs and to address them”, he said and added that each department should appoint a nodal officer whose job would be to approach banks and facilitate the process of credit- lending.

Sheikh Mushtaq Ahmad while asking the officers to exert themselves for making a success story said that these stories need to be multiplied to gain the confidence of the people.(NAK)
